Liberal slop stream is back!

Hey everyone! I have a few different links for you here. I've been streaming again on my twitch, twitch.tv/sophie_frm_mars so if you wanna catch me live I'm trying to stream every Friday evening. The VODs go up on my stream VOD channel which is now active again youtube.com/@sophiefrommarsstreams5920

These streams are a continuation of the Liberal Slop streams that Nat and I were doing 2 years ago, where we were discussing the production of liberal articles and thinkpieces in publications like the New York Times, Atlantic, Guardian, The Wall Street Journal and the New Statesman. The aim of these streams has been to share an understanding of Chomsky's propaganda model as it applies to liberal thinkpieces, to understand the systemics of liberal content produced for the constant reaffirmation of the western imperialist intelligentsia. All of this relates to the framework of political analysis that I've been working on for the last few years, which I've just put up a substack piece about. The substack piece is a curation of discussions I was having about the framework on Tumblr with some additional notes.

Hey everyone! This speech is a bit over an hour long and in spanish but the auto-translated english subtitles are good, and what Gustavo Petro says here is important. He is calling for the formation of an army by the UN which will fight against Israel to stop the genocide and then go from there to aid in the climate relief efforts around the world. He says that Gaza is an experiment in our own complicity and complacency, and that if the genocide there is allowed to go unopposed the imperialist ruling class will use it against everyone who tries to resist destruction by climate collapse. I think this is a reasonable analysis, and I believe the genocide in Gaza must be stopped.
Petro's outlined plan is to bring a UN resolution to create this army, which cannot be vetoed if he can get 75% of member states to approve it. He likens what he refers to as "the army to save the world" to the International Freedom Battalion or the antifascist volunteers in the Spanish Civil War saying that he is sure people will volunteer from around the world.
If this proposal gains momentum it will be incredibly significant in world politics

Hey everyone! I'm sharing a fundraiser again. This one is for Monica who is raising money for costs around bottom surgery. Monica is like a sister to me, we came out at around the same time and spent so much formative time in our transitions talking about gender and art and life and I simply wouldn't be who I am without her. She is a ray of sunshine that the world is lucky to have and I know her community in Pittsburgh values her deeply. Please donate if you can and share to as many places as possible

The UK is moving to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, making it illegal to join or support them. If you are in the UK you can write to your MP to demand that this does not happen. The vote is on Monday
